Look below for *~--- THE LIST ---~*.
On a notecard or small piece of paper, using a marker, write:
Hi HBGames! My name is _______ :worf:
(In the blank, write your member name. Yes, you have to write ":worf:" (colon "worf" colon)--or you can draw him.)
Find the thing, action, or scene, you want to capture.
Place the notecard somewhere in the picture. You can hold it up, you can place it next to the subject--doesn't matter. Just so long as the subject and the notecard are entirely within the photo.
Upload the picture to some image hosting place.
Post the picture(s) here. We'll track what you've captured in a list below.
That's it~

What are the r-rules ........
1.) Picture must be atleast 240x240 in size, and preferably no bigger than 1000x1000 (because big imgs are annoying).
2.) Picture can have adjusted contrast so we can see it better, and it can be resized, but no other doctoring or effects are allowed! Photoshop will not help you, nave!
3.) Obviously, it has to be a picture you've taken! Google will not help you, cheater!
4.) You can get creative. For example, if we ask for a Purple Stapler, you can paint your stapler purple, for the points. (No Photoshop recoloring!!!! Such cheaters!!!!! Shame on you)
5.) If we ask for specific people, you have to provide some proof that it's them. We don't care what the proof is (as long as it doesn't harm the security of their identity). For example, you have to have them post and verify it's them. (If it's a celebrity, provide a pic from a magazine of them or something).
6.) If the picture doesn't have a notecard/paper reading exactly what it says above, it doesn't count. Yes, that includes your name, and the worfsmile : worf :. It only counts if it's a real-life notecard/paper. Drawing/pasting one in digitally is cheating. Having yourself in the picture can be a substitute. But we have to clearly see your face, and have proof that it's actually you (i.e. separately, show you with the notecard).
7.) No duplicates. You can't do one thing over and over for more points. Good lord you're such a cheating bastard to even think of that, how do you sleep at night.
8.) Don't do anything to endanger yourself, bring harm to yourself or anything else, cause damage, break any laws, or generally piss off/annoy anyone. We cannot be held responsible for anything bad IRL that occurs because of your participation and do not condone illegal activity. ([/covering our asses])

Points, what are they¿
We have different categories of difficulty in these things. Obviously it's harder to capture some things more than others.
Rookie captures equal 1 point each.
Veteran captures equal 2 points each.
Hero captures equal 3 points each.
MEDOF captures equal 5 points each.
So it's not about who has the most pics, but rather, the most points. So shoot for the stars ***\^o^/***
P-PRIZES.......@_@;;;;;;;;;;
This is mostly for fun & gloating privileges.
If you get the most points by the close of the contest, you will get something special, though:
You will get a special usergroup only for you. Your name will be colored differently from everyone else's, and you will have a custom userbadge. You will also have an increased PM inbox limit.
Usergroup: SCAVAVENGER ~ color: dark red
This isn't permanent (aside from the inbox limit change). It lasts until there's a new Scavavenger winner. But oh, what an amazing few weeks those will be.
